regular ITS call

action items

yves: last proposals we have are the same
... felix said the proposal from Christian was o.k., to have it on the rules element, and if it is not here, on the root element
... sebastian said the good thing is that you don't have to pollute the rest of the instance

sebastian: and it is illegal to have the version attribute both at the root and at the <rules> element
... and it is impossible to mix version

yves: so if it is on the rules element, and I process local markup, I use it from the rules element

sebastian: it should be a fatal error to have multiple versions

yves: summary: the its:version attribute is mandatory at the rules element, if there is no rules element, it goes at the root element of the instance. If there are both it is an error if they have different versions.
... each file can have a different version. E.g.: if there are external rules imported via xlink:href, they could have a different version
... if we change anything related to precedence order, we are in big trouble

sebastian: for the version attribute, we use always a namespace prefixed attribute, i.e. its:version
